COURSE MEETINGS Mon & Wed: 2:00-3:15 p.m. (Leutze Hall 110) II. OFFICE HOURS Mon & Wed, 3:30-5:00 p.m. or By Appointment III. COURSE DESCRIPTION The aim of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how the presidency and Congress cooperate and compete with each other in the American democracy. While academic tradition has followed constitutional framework by teaching Congress and the presidency separately, a new consensus is also emerging on the demand to integrate our understanding of how legislative and executive branches interact. In studying the American presidency and US Congress, the course will place emphases on diverse perspectives; constitutional, historical, institutional, and strategic. Other topics will include separation and delegation of powers; electoral connections; policy-making processes over foreign, economic, and domestic issues; and legislative-executive interaction in the era of polarization. This is a demanding course, with a substantial amount of reading. It is imperative that you read all assigned readings before the class for which they are assigned. IV. COURSE READING Two books are required and available in the university book store. Michael Nelson The Presidency and the Political System. 8 th edition. (Washington D.C.: CQ Press) Steven S.
